I was recently asked why I travel. It was during a casual conversation about life and dream jobs and those aspirations that are ever evolving, as we are. But it got me thinking and I took a notebook and wrote down some a few words. I share them here.

‘I travel to renew my love and passion for the world. To seek out my deeper spiritual meaning. To meet local people and take lessons from them. To witness dreams come true and aspirations met. To be humbled and taught and shown the way. And to feel alive.’

Here I bring you narratives, stories, video and photographs from my travels around the globe, including accounts of gorilla trekking in Uganda, tree planting in Zambia and turtle rescue in Kenya, accommodation and restaurant reviews, as well as details of the conservation efforts that I support.

A self proclaimed earth advocate and beauty seeker, I invite you to join me and share in my love of sustainable travel – and the rich offerings of our beautiful world.
